Fallout 3 with (almost) no sound

[Dark Mayu]

I finally got Fallout 3 to work, now however I do not have sound. Well, almost no sound; while I can listen to Radio Stations and voices, anything else does not work.
Here the command I use to start the game as well as some output:

Code: Select all

my terminal gets bombarded by XInputGetState fixmes from here on.
I am also using mods, those however are configured properly. (I am able to play normally).

winecfg is configured like this:
Alsa driver
Hardware Acc.: Full
SampleRate: 44100 - 16 Bits per Sample

All other applications/games work as intended.
Could somebody please help me?

sorry, forgot to add that I am using wine 1.2-rc1

Apply the workaround on this page:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21609

That will fix the sound effects issue. You also need an additional patch if you want the music to work as well. Although I can't seem to find it any more. Maybe you'll have better luck.

[Dark Mayu]

Great, thank you DL. The patch fixed my sound issue.

For those who do not know how to apply that patch:
download it from above link (attached file), copy it into your pre-compiled wine source, open a Terminal and cd into the wine directory.
Enter

Code: Select all

patch -p1 --verbose > [patch]

[patch] should be obviously replaced with the name of the respective patch.
You can also test it prior installation with --dry-run

Should this not be patch -p1 --verbose < [patch]

If you do the first, this will send the error message "Patch could not
be found" or make it appear that you keyboard just locked up.

lol, you're right.

patch -p1 --verbose < [patch]

that's the correct one, thanks for the heads up

I installed Fallout 3 with the Play On Linux script. Now, it works with any version of wine... Except for the music.

I'm definitely looking for this music patch, does any of you here know where I can find it ?
